I think they will both start. Also Pedro and Kovacic. CHO and James are not ready yet unfortunately. Emerson is in doubt so get ready for watching Alonso and Azpilicueta as full backs.
When was the last time we signed top free agent? It's Ballack 13 years ago.
I think Tammy and Emerson will be great this season but still we need to get rid of Alonso, Giroud, Michy. How about we go for Cavani and Rafael Guerrero. They are both available for free next summer. So we upgrade on those positions and plus get money
Shocking.
I don't know what is Azpi being asked to play but his contribution is attack is non existent and also we conceded a lot of goals because of him.
If you think scoring own goals, giving penalties away is fine then yes Zouma is fine. Him and Azpi are at fault for almost all goals we conceded this season.
And about Willian don't know what to say. From his Sheffield cameo I remember giving the ball away every time he had possession with misplaced passes.

Linked with him again.
At the moment Trent is English best offensive RB. So it makes sense to play him against Kosovo (country not recognised by 93 countries of United Nations). AWB is by far best in defence. You also have Walker and Trippier so it's way to early for James.
Btw Maguire is nowhere near worth his price.
Hmm... We are linked with players in every other position except GK and midfielder. And if you read this thread you can see everyone speaking about CB, LB, RB, wingers and strikers. Majority of us are happy with Kante, Jorginho, RLC, Kovacic, Mount and Barkley as bench option. What type of midfielder you think we need?
If true we are late one year.
But still Milan is very low now. Should not be a problem to take best players from them. We sent Van Ginkel, Bakayoko, Pasalic on loan there over the years which shows you where is Milan in European football. This season I think they won't finish top6 in Seria A.
I'm compering Mane's two seasons in Southampton with Zaha's last two seasons in Palace.
Mane 21 goals and 9 assists =30
Zaha 19 goals and 8 assists =27
Similar level of clubs. Zaha could benefit from playing in bigger team with better team mates. With CHO and Pulisic we definitely need some more experienced winger. Of course I'd rather have Sancho here but if we are really after Zaha I'm just trying to look as positive as possible.
Exactly, if you take away City and Bournemouth where we conceded 25% of our goals last season we had very solid defence. And it's weird because Alonso and Luiz played majority of games.
